On the Longbridge job the team built the brick footings up out of the ground in April 2026, then put the steels in, ready for the roof. The same team digs and concretes the footings, builds the blockwork and brickwork and puts in the steels, so one firm runs the job from the ground up. ## Do you need planning permission in Birmingham? Birmingham City Council handles planning and building control across the city. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original back wall of a semi or terrace, or 4 metres on a detached house. A garage conversion that keeps to the inside of the building usually needs no planning permission, but it does need building regulations sign-off. See the [planning guide](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/planning-permission-for-extensions/). ## Can a house be split into flats? Yes, with planning permission and building regulations sign-off. In Shard End in early 2026 the team turned a three-bedroom house into four flats for a regular client to let, with the carpentry and plastering finished before the decorators came in for the handover. ## A recent job like this - [Wrap-around extension, Bromsgrove, 2025](https://brick2brick.co.uk/projects/bromsgrove-wrap-around-extension/): The job Liam is proudest of: a wrap-around extension with a loft conversion in the Bromsgrove area, built through the summer of 2025. ## Questions people ask Does Brick2Brick UK build extensions in Birmingham?
